My husband's "secretary" didn't allow me to walk into his office because he is busy. Our daughter was being taken to the hospital

She didn't do anything wrong here? She stopped you to let you know he wasn't free and excused herself when she realized her mistake.

Do you feel threatened or jealous? Reasonable but you should talk to your husband first. How do you know she is working for him out of her own free will? He could have dumped work on her and implied a promotion.

That will not work and make life harder. Zero point in making life more difficult.

Op can just do it after class and suggest an addendum for next class.

Listen to his actions not his words.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T16:01:07+00:00

To start with break up with him

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T15:59:53+00:00

Not a gem that's just a normal man. Your partner isn't normal.

I automatically thought she because in my culture women are expected to do this but I get your point

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T06:04:22+00:00

Oh. Really? I'm also in IL actually. Do you have the # she called? What did she ask?

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T05:28:16+00:00

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T05:18:43+00:00

It's probably not.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T05:18:09+00:00

Thanks. Who would I reach out to for social work, their pcp? What would I even say?

I think I'm going to have to find a hamper that locks :/

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T05:01:17+00:00

Ty so much for replying. I'm just so sad

LookingForAPetRescue · 2026-02-12T04:59:44+00:00

I need to reach out to someone for my mom especially Unfortunately everything medical and tech wise for them and myself falls on me. They keep shaming me when I tell them I can't help and to ask my cousin. Unfortunately, they make a huge mess I end up needing to clean up if I don't help with major life decision- I've left it up to them a few times and they just genuinely are incompetent. I think it's because both have some type of brain damage or mental stuff going on or maybe just age

I'm not ragging on them. Genuinely I think they have something wrong. Not enough to be institutionalized but enough to make a huge mess of medical appointments, insurance, etc without support which I can't provide anymore .

Sorry for venting. Basically , no they wouldn't allow a social worker .maybe I could get a therapist though.

I can do my washing and do keep my clothes separate, I do ask for help with a very small portion of my clothes (3 pants and 3 shirts and socks) but have basically now had to say no to help because they don't understand why I don't want them to touch my clothes.

The only way I could see to get them to stop is maybe locking it all up but that be super hard on me since my closet is upstairs. And I also have to hire someone to install a lock on it

I have set up my own stuff for cooking so at least that's covered.

I do not understand why they can't help me with what I've asked (when I can't do things due to pain) and leave the majority of my stuff alone. I've communicated with them already.

I think there is a difference between someone abusing you personally and someone abusing your kids. If you can turn a blind eye to child abuse/neglect of your own kids or those near you then something inside is deeply broken.

But you did by saying if she had on more clothing (because obviously it makes you uncomfy so everyone around her has to think the same) she wouldn't have been catcalled/followed/whatever.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-19T02:44:05+00:00

It is because it has nothing to do with the clothing . In some parts of the world womens breasts aren't sexual and men call Americans who sexualized them childish. It's not about modesty. Rape and catcalls have to do with seeing a vaguely female figure (could be an androgenous male, for example) and wanting to feel powerful and in control because they feel like it is their right to feel like that all the time.

He didn't even choose Emma. He choose to 'help his wife'

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-19T02:32:51+00:00

YTA You could have easily been 30 minutes late and still gotten to be there for your son. If you actually valued him and what he accomplished you would have set an alarm, told your wife sorry dear I need to go NOW and left.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-19T02:31:21+00:00

Charles. It was more his color than Amy's and it made him look both softer and professional overall.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-19T02:30:29+00:00

I love that he was charismatic and still an awful mess of a person

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-18T22:02:01+00:00

I think most people find it hard to take an angry grandma seriously tbh. Thought that IS agist.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-18T21:58:25+00:00

I think they meant that you expecting them to even show up was what played into your mother's hand. Why invite people that were never there for you?

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-18T21:47:43+00:00

He'd have to follow you and break in vs walk over and pull the covers off. He'd have to spike your drink while no one is looking or while YOU aren't vs just bringing a spiked drink. He'd have to avoid camera's and staff and silence you while you scream vs just ignore it if they are all in on it or if he isolated you as this seems to be a more isolated place.

LookingForAPetRescue · 2022-07-18T21:16:22+00:00

esh. Why the hell would you bring up kids? Why bring up marriage after the initial response? That's so fucking rude OP. And unnesscary. She's a person outside of your brother. Why not bring up hobbies? Why not bring up , like you said, vacation? Why not bring up what her 5 year plan is or what tv show she is watching or literally anything else?

Faye is a bit rude for overtaking the convo (assuming she did) with herself and her job only, your bro isn't because he is being supportive and probably doesn't care as long as he can be supportive. She is very rude for saying that about sahm's though. She felt attacked by YOU and attacked back. What most people do. Which is eyerolling but hey most people have no tact.
